Dominique de Villepin speech

This is the talk French Foreign Minister de Villepin gave on March 27th in London. (You can access it in print or on audio.) I only heard part of the speech on a radio newscast and I was impressed with the apparent seriousness of it. It seemed to me that he lays out a strategic design that France should follow in this unipolar (post 9-11)world, and implicitly, what the U.S. should be doing. I mean to study it and reflect on it in the coming weeks (but I dont have time now). But I did want to get it out to you. By the way, I believe it was after this speech, in response to a question, where de Villepin wouldnt answer the question who he prefers should win this war, the coalition or Iraq. That response is not in the written transcript, although it may be on the audio.
